Week 34

(Module 4 Topic 2 Lesson 2 - 3: Graphing Geometric Figures)

Learning objective = Students solve geometry problems using the coordinate plane. They conjecture about graphed polygons and prove their conjectures. Students graph triangles and quadrilaterals using given criteria and calculate distances to solve perimeter, area, and volume problems. They then label a parallelogram’s coordinates without a coordinate grid and write an algebraic expression to solve for its area.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***

Slicing Three Dimensional Figures | Grades 6-8 Describing Two-Dimensional Figures Resulting From Slicing Three-Dimensional Figures (Grade 7) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesThis animated Math Shorts video helps students understand the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing solid three-dimensional figures. The video demonstrates this using cylinders and right rectangular pyramids as the three-dimensional figures. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create and slice play dough figures and then describe the resulting shapes.

Escaramuza: 2D Drawing | Grades 6-8 Describing Two-Dimensional Figures Resulting From Slicing Three-Dimensional Figures (Grade 7) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesExamine a real-life equestrian event and how the symmetries of the riders’ motions can be reduced to two-dimensional drawings in this video from the Center for Asian American Media.

Escaramuza: Coordinates, Reflection, Rotation | Grades 6-8 Describing Two-Dimensional Figures Resulting From Slicing Three-Dimensional Figures (Grade 7) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesUsing footage from a real-life equestrian event, draw a two-dimensional diagram and learn to reflect a representation of it on a coordinate graph in this video from Center for Asian American Media.

Escaramuza: Symmetry, Reflection, Rotation | Grades 6-8, 13+ Understanding Congruence of Two-Dimensional Figures (Grade 8) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesLearn to diagram two-dimensional representations using footage from a real-life equestrian event on a coordinate graph and reflect and rotate that diagram in this video from Center for Asian American Media.

Cross Sections of a Cube | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Classification of Two-Dimensional Figures Teaching and Lesson ResourcesCut through a cube with a virtual sword and observe the resulting cross sections. This interactive exercise focuses on discovering the relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes.
